There are things we can’t explain.
Extraordinary things.
And we can’t explain them,
Are not supposed to explain them.
So someone has to give it all a reason.

Then the mystery fades and
We stop obsessing.
Are supposed to stop obsessing.

The explanations for the mundane melt together
Fading until you can’t tell one from the other.

The reasons for the extraordinary never fade.
They get clearer.
Brighter.

The idiots want to cover it all.
Trying valiantly to disguise the brilliance of everyday life.
Extraordinary.

But we see it.
We want to share it.
But we’re all rambling idiots.

So you shut us away.
Lock us out.
Brand us with your labels.

We’re crazy, right?
I’m schizophrenic.
He’s bipolar.
She’s autistic.

You’re right.
We’re wrong.

And the brilliance fades away.
The shine fades from our eyes.
You drug us down and
Whisper
Behind our backs.

We’re crazy,
Right?

There are things in life that can’t be explained.
Extraordinary things.
Brilliant things.
Crazy things.

I show you my tongue but hide the tablet.
You believe me.

Who’s the idiot now?
We smile at each other behind your backs.
We see the light while you walk away.

There are things in life that can’t be explained.
Extraordinary things.
Brilliant things.

And we see them.

Who’s crazy now?
